Yeah, the funny thing about this generation is that people are gloating over one console having two tenths of a second faster loading times than another console which is so statistically insignificant that it isn't even worth talking about much less arguing over. The performance leap in load times is awesome no matter which way you look at it. Playing Mass Effect on console and having the ability to skip elevators beca it loads in less than 2 seconds feels so good.Spot on.
Also one other thing people wont be able to tell the difference with SSD comparisons..... the gap between one SSD loading a game in 1 second, another in 1.2 seconds and another in 1.3 seconds.
So it shows despite SSDs with a big gap in speed from 3.2 to 5.5 to 7.0, the difference read speeds and loading is so negligible, not only is the absolute difference in time super small already, but the gap is more like only +/- 10% and not +/- 100% like it looks on paper.
It's like 3 baseball player being showcased to be drafted. One is a hulk, one is medium sized and one is tiny. At first glance the big looks like he'll hit 35 HR, the average guy 20, and the tiny guy lucky if he hits 10.
Turns out the big player hits 26, the medium guy 25 and the small thin guy 24.
Arguing over specs has always been a thing I guess but this generation and the slight differences across games when you compare them side by side is really making people look dumb.
